Wiimote projector whiteboard

[Johnny Lee]’s back again with his Wiimote interactive whiteboard. Commercial versions of these things are expensive and heavy. His technique doesn’t even need a projector, just a computer, a Wiimote and a simple IR emitting pen. The pen is just a stylus with an infrared LED in the tip. Hit the video after the break, and you can grab the software from his site here.

Last night I picked up the IR LED from radio shack along with a resistor to bring 5v down to about 1.2v. I spliced this all into a USB cable and it doesn’t seem to light up at all. I’m not sure if I’ve done something wrong but the wiimote will not track the LED at all.

Has anyone else had luck with making this type of thing? I’m pretty newb when it comes to DIY electronics. I looked at a few sites and it seems like I did the right thing but I can’t be sure.

On another note has anyone tried a red laser? That would be a ideal solution IMHO if it could be easily tracked.

As the use of web is increasing various Hacking fields are just adding value to it. It can be obtain from the article that the relation between people and hacking issue which is growing day by day like this the affected people need more security as which will help them to recover from the problem. Even online gaming such as online casino and Online Lottery are being suffering from it a lot.
